Lady with handbags
TALL AND THIN
Select handbags by using a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Pick handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent option.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, oversized hand bags aren't for small girls. Big bags often overcome your frame. Avoid shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even shorter.
PLUS-SIZESelect a large structured or boxy bag to balance your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you enjoy prints, steer clear of tiny designs.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging on an expensive handbag, choose one that you may be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or even more on the handbag that will rarely make it out of your closet.
